THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Choice of Disciplines Is Offered by Life
Editor's note: The following editorial was written for the Daily Kansan by the Rev. Edwin F. Price, minister to students of the Methodist church.
No man wearing the uniform of his country today is "fit" until he has undergone a period of strenuous physical conditioning. Nor is a fighting man adequately prepared for combat until he has been psychologically conditioned in his controlling attitudes of mind. Is it any less reasonable to expect that moral and ethical living of high quality can be achieved apart from a voluntary giving of oneself to exacting ways of spiritual conditioning?
"The Disciplines of Liberty" is the significant title given by Dean Willard Sperry, of Harvard, to a volume some years ago. That title speaks a pertinent word to our day. Men will either give themselves to creative, self-imposed disciplines or they will have forced upon them, from without, the arbitrary disciplines of dictatorships—dictatorships political, social, moral, and spiritual.
The Cross is the symbol of the disciplined life, life disciplined from within by genuine love and loyalty to the Highest. "My friends," said Edward Markham, "we never choose the better part until we set the Cross up in the heart." The man who would escape all discipline in living will, very likely, soon find himself the victim of dictates imposed by others and by external circumstances.
But the man who voluntarily "accepts" the Cross and who sincerely commits himself to the disciplines of confident faith and sacrificial spirit will find that he has, on his own, chosen the only effective means of living above the irksome disciplines dictated from without.
One can discard the Cross and all self-imposed disciplines for high living, but in doing so one but runs up the white flag to living dictated by what happens. It is impossible to escape from discipline of one kind or the other. Will it be the discipline of inner commitment to that high way marked by a Cross, or will it be the discipline of submitting to the pressures dictated from without?
After World War I, a famous British chaplain said, "I do not so much fear hell anymore, but I am terribly afraid there will come a day when some one will look me in the eye and say, 'Well, what did you make of it?'
What will you make of it? For which discipline do you cast your ballot?

Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
No name jive: Who is the author of the Jayhawker magazine "humor" column, "They Say," is still a trade secret. At an editors' conference, it was almost decided to give the column a byline to satisfy the readers. The proposed heading was, "They Say," by Seymour Sights, and compiled by the Damma Phi Nu honorary journalistic fraternity. This was the same afternoon that Bob Noll, former advertising manager, sat in on the meeting with a bottle of port wine.

Society note: Several members of Phi Beta Pi entertained at a small
party Tuesday night, in the basement of the chapter house. Delicious refreshments were served and songs were sung.
Rock Chalk Comment: One round of "after-dinner" drinks started the debauch. Songs progressed from bad to worse, as two fifths . . . then another two pints . . . went down the hatch Frank Flack, with his usual gusto, was the life of the party until overcome by a super stupor.

Femininity, a lovely virtue: Dimitive Jeanne Bright, freshman engineer, complained that the first time she went to the Fowler shops for her foundry class, all of the machines stared at her.
